I am afraid I cant help you as to whether white poplar is ok for your viv, but I havent been able to find anything that says it is dangerous.

To make the wood safe you need to either soak it in 10% bleach or use a reptile disenfectant to scrub it with. Then bake it in the oven at about 160oC for approx an hour - this ensures any parasites that havent been killed are and so are the eggs laid.

Sorry I cant be more helpful.

Yes, it should be fine if cleaned and dried.
